LMC and National Parts Depot are two different year / body style specific publications. You can subscribe to their catalogs through their respected websites. They both have online catalogs too. Body parts, engine components, suspension, and almost everything else. Most with blown up generic schematics to help identify exactly what you are looking at.

Summit Racing and Jegs both carry parts. Do a engine specific search on their sites. They both have different package deals that include a set of headers, distributor, intake, carb.

Go to a machine shop that's been around for a while. Find the oldest gentleman there and ask him if he knows anything about a 300. Listen to him tell stories about how they used to race them as he digs out a head that over the years has been kicked to the back corner of the shop. Along with a couple crankshafts, cams and knowledge. He will be thrilled to do work on one again. That's my experience anyway.

Occasionally you can find something on eBay.

Sometimes a fellow enthusiasts and craftsman will fabricate something and they will be kind enough to make a couple extra for us less inclined with Mills and machining. That's usually the good stuff.

There is also Clifford Performance for the nice valve cover, headers, intakes, etc., but their prices are way up there. Oh, and don't let them give you engine advice. Despite their own belief, they're not car people. Don't buy their cam.

Welcome to the forum, Countrybo! You might find this interesting: FORDSIX PERFORMANCE ? View topic - new valve cover

And here is something I just saw: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPECTRE-ford...lWN510&vxp=mtr
